Re: Nvidia 350.xx with opencl 1.2

So - if used by PG, all Fermi-based GPU´s were "out of the game" :cry:
Your answer makes no sense
The 680 is Kepler, not Fermi

Re: Points earned for GPU WUs

The estimated point value is called PPD (Points Per Day), meaning if you only gotten that one specific WU within a 24h period then that would be the points you would receive.

Re: 210k ppd on a geforce 970

Overclock that 970 and easily get under 2min
I'm rocking 1min53sec on my 970. 1503 core speed. Averaging around 269k PPD

Re: Is a Pentium 4 even worth it?

I have an old Pent 4/HT 3.2 GHz that I have kept in service, not because of the CPU (which will get around 150 ppd running Uniprocessor WUs), but because I have been able to run a highly overclocked non-cooled GT430 GPU in one of its PCI non-Express slots. This gives me consistently about 6000 ppd ...

not worth the power being used for the incredibly small amount of points it gets

Your WU (P8900 R30 C3 G54) was added to the stats database on 2013-07-17 12:00:28 for 19722 points of credit.

Was this credit posted BEFORE or AFTER you had those troubles?
After
A WU would try 3 or 4 times to upload before it finally does

Re: WS:171.64.65.69;CS:171.65.103.160

I've changed the title of this thread in an attempt to cut down on what appears to be some confusion. This thread is about not being able to upload to the WS 171.64.65.69 and then not being able to upload to it's CS 171.65.103.160 which, as mentioned, was fixed and does appear to be working. @kscot...

Re: GPU/CPU folding approach theoretical max system power dr

However, if you read the posts in the blog...GPU with opencl is going to quickly become the future path. ... Anyway, this is all educated guessing until the new core17 launches with openmm5.1.

Re: GPU/CPU folding approach theoretical max system power dr

I think you should sell all 3 and get a Intel system with 2 or 3 GPUs and a good 80+ Gold PSU
I'm running one machine with 4 clients and got almost 2mil for last month and my monthly bill is low
